Nightmare Despair

What kind of energy is drawn in Chapter 106?

"Sir, you've arrived." Wei Bao was covered in bandages and was on an IV drip. When he saw Zhou Kai enter, he forced himself to sit up in bed and greeted him respectfully.

The scene of being brutally beaten and nearly killed last night is still vivid in his mind. And the mocking and contemptuous attitude he had towards Zhou Kai before he died now fills him with regret.

Therefore, he was in great inner turmoil and pain at that moment.

"Did I have some kind of death wish, or did I lack the courage to be so arrogant?"

Wei Bao was filled with remorse.

But at the same time, he felt a sense of relief and pride.

"Luckily, the sir's beating woke me up. I've learned my lesson, and this will never happen again."

Thinking of this, when he weakly looked at Zhou Kai, he couldn't help but feel even more grateful.

If an unsuspecting person were to witness this scene, they would surely be horrified.

……

Wei Bao was seriously injured, but with Hu Yuan's costless medical treatment, he should be able to regain his mobility in three days at most.

However, three days was already too long for Zhou Kai; he didn't have the patience to wait that long.

In any case, the first thing Zhou Kai needed Wei Bao to do was not that he needed to have any fighting ability.

It was just asking him a few questions...

Because Zhou Kai controlled Wei Bao with the bottled scent, the man was now completely obedient to him. When answering questions, he naturally didn't hide anything, answering almost everything he knew without reservation.

Zhou Kai's first question was why Wei Bao was on Duanyimen's territory.

"As you know, I come from Xijiang City... In most of the southern provinces, including our Jiang Province, the Broken Wing and Fish Dragon schools are the dominant forces," Wei Bao honestly explained.

"Our Blue Leopard branch devised a clever plan: to come south and secure a living space for the sect."

"The so-called solution is to send 'exchange groups' and at the same time establish enthusiast associations in the community. If we open a martial arts school in the south, the local martial arts schools will definitely not be happy, but if we set up an enthusiast association under the banner of public interest, they will have no way to complain even if they want to."

Zhou Kai nodded upon hearing this and said calmly, "Continue."

The second question concerns the situation of the experts within the Blue Leopard school.

Wei Bao thought for a moment and replied, "Our exchange group belongs to the Black Wolf Fist lineage. My master is a Qi Refining Realm martial artist... Legend has it that our lineage's previous senior brother was one of the few Form Refining martial artists."

When the topic turned to the Blue Leopard Style of martial arts, Zhou Kai finally became interested. This was exactly what he wanted to learn about.

"Black Wolf Fist? Dog Fist?" Zhou Kai asked, raising an eyebrow.

Wei Bao smiled and said, "There is indeed a Dog Fist school, but they operate in a few small countries in the southeast... Our 'bei' is the 'bei' that means 'colluding with wolves'."

"Martial arts are divided into four realms, each progressively higher than the last."

"The first realm is True Strength. The basic martial arts of various schools are actually quite similar, such as my Tiger Fist and your Falcon Strike Technique."

"But things are different when you reach the second realm, because there is 'Qi-inducing martial arts'... All the major schools regard this as a closely guarded secret."

At this point, Wei Bao grinned and said, "Of course, if you want to learn, sir, I will offer you my Black Wolf Fist with both hands, and I will tell you everything I know without reservation."

Zhou Kai nodded without hesitation: "Send me an electronic copy of the boxing manual as soon as possible."

"..."

Wei Bao nodded silently.

……

As a highly qualified disciple of the Blue Leopard Style Black Wolf Fist lineage, Wei Bao had access to many of the sect's secrets.

Now, he has told Zhou Kai all of this truthfully.

As a result, Zhou Kai thoroughly understood the cultivation methods of the second realm of martial arts and the general mysteries of the third realm.

Second Realm Qi Induction? What kind of Qi is being drawn?

Infuriated.

Where does true qi come from? Is it generated by the human body itself? No.

The source of true qi is precisely a higher quality secret medicine.

Practicing Qi-inducing martial arts, combined with taking Qi-inducing secret medicines, requires a long period of time to draw out an exceptionally powerful Qi within the body.

Once this true energy is unleashed, a martial artist's physical abilities will be completely transformed, making it possible to split metal and shatter rocks.

The only cost is some changes in physical appearance.

As for the third stage of physical training, it requires one to complete the Qi Induction process and reach the point of semi-beast transformation before visualizing the True Form Diagram and seeking complete beast transformation.

Wei Bao had no right to see the true form of the Black Wolf Fist School; he had only heard of it. "I wonder what Senior Brother Chen's status is in the Falcon Wing Fist School's faction. Could he help me learn the Qi Induction Technique as soon as possible?" Zhou Kai pondered to himself, his brows furrowing slightly.

Zhou Kai was very anxious about becoming stronger.

He thought that if he couldn't get the advanced techniques of the Falcon Wing lineage within seven days, he wouldn't mind practicing the Blue Leopard style martial arts, which had a similarly complete system.

However, I need to see Senior Brother Chen Ping before making a decision.

Shortly after, Huang Le drove Zhou Kai away from the Xishan Hotel and headed to the Falcon Wing Boxing Gym.

……

As soon as Zhou Kai stepped into the boxing gym, he heard a noisy commotion.

All the members were not in the training area at the moment, but crowded together around the ring in the corner of the first floor, watching the match with excited expressions.

Zhou Kai was about to go upstairs when this group of people blocked his way.

He was too lazy to pay attention, but the noise and commotion intruded into his ears without warning.

……

"I'd heard that martial arts in Xishan City were no good, and seeing it today is truly laughable! The whole city only has this one boxing gym, and they can't even produce a single true martial artist... What is your gym owner good for?!"

On the ring, a tall young man, hunched over, appeared less imposing. He stepped on a senior student from the Falcon Wing Boxing Gym, laughing and shouting wildly without restraint.

The student who was stepped on was in great pain, struggling desperately but unable to break free.

But apart from Du Feng and a few others, no one dared to step forward to save him.

Even if someone is willing to step forward, whether they can actually save the person is another matter entirely.

Du Feng and the others rushed onto the stage, only to be easily defeated by the young man.

Some were trampled underfoot, while others were slapped and sent flying out of the circle.

"Those useless bastards from Xishan... no wonder your relevant departments had to come to Dachang for help." The young man laughed mockingly, his voice booming and making the surroundings buzz.

"Haha, hurry up and make room. This boxing gym will be the new location of our Crane Stork Martial Arts School in your district."

He was extremely arrogant, and his fellow disciples beside him burst into loud laughter.

On the other hand, there weren't many people at the Falcon Wing Boxing Gym. Those who dared to argue were already lying on the ground, while those who didn't dare to utter a sound lowered their heads and looked down. Some even simply watched the show from the sidelines, as if it were none of their business.

Zhou Kai pursed his lips, thinking to himself that it was indeed the right thing to rarely associate with his fellow boxers at the gym.

This group of people, who had been fighting amongst themselves over that repeatedly diluted secret medicine, are now completely helpless when trouble actually comes their way... They don't even know how to work together.

Zhou Kai was too lazy to get involved and went straight upstairs to find Chen Ping.

However, just as he lifted his foot to go upstairs, he was suddenly grabbed by someone.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Du Feng, who had been beaten black and blue.

Du Feng raised his swollen, bruised face and said weakly, "Senior Brother Chen didn't arrive until four o'clock this afternoon..."

He didn't intend to ask Zhou Kai for help; he was simply reporting on Chen Ping's movements as usual.

However, this time, Zhou Kai took the initiative to make a move.

"I came here to spar with Senior Brother Chen, and since he's not here, it's good to warm up with this idiot..." While he was thinking about how to pass the time, his eyes were already locked on the young man on the stage.

When Du Feng saw Zhou Kai turn around and walk towards the arena after he stood still, his face immediately fell: "Zhou Kai... are you going to make a move?"

He advised with a worried expression, "Let's wait for our senior brother to come back. Don't go up there and make trouble for yourself."

"That person is Shen Hui, a newly promoted True Strength martial artist from the Crane Stork Martial Arts Academy. Don't let his young age of nineteen fool you; his strength might not be inferior to that of the senior brother..."

"You'd better not go."

In Du Feng's opinion, Zhou Kai had only been in the boxing gym for less than three weeks, so it was impossible for him to have the strength to rival a true martial artist.

Even though Zhou Kai punched and shattered a force measuring device a few days ago, and that force was said to have reached the human limit, so what?

Du Feng reached out again to grab Zhou Kai, but Zhou Kai's figure seemed to be a phantom, and he grabbed at empty air twice.

Du Feng was momentarily dazed, and the scene before him suddenly reminded him of the times when his senior brother Chen Ping would occasionally give him pointers.

Whenever he was about to run into Senior Brother Chen, the other party would always casually dodge him, just like Zhou Kai did.

"Could it be..." Du Feng stared blankly at the arena, his eyes gradually brightening.

　The fourth update.
